Hiking the Tahoe to Yosemite Trail to find a Cure forMyeloproliferative Neoplasms

In 2010, after two years of living with the Myeloproliferative Neoplasm called Polycythemia Vera, I decided that the best way to confront this complicated and deadly disease was to raise the money to find a cure. I combined my adventurous spirit and deep appreciation of nature and hiked the John Muir Trail in the High Sierras as a fundraiser for research in order to find a cure.We raised 30,000 dollars to fund research.Next July I will hike the Sierras again! I will hike 190 mile from Tahoe to Yosemite to once again raise money for research to find a cure.All of the money raised will go directly to funding research in cooperation with the MPN Research Foundation.
